That you! I'm sending directions now.

BTW - I should have mentioned. I'm paying the gas for anybody that comes. At these prices, it's the very least I can do.

Tom, I'm sure glad your builder Tim and his guys came out to help. That tank is MASSIVE.......

The way you have everything set up is awsome. Very well thought out. Can't wait to see it up and running.

 

[reefrubble]

Well, the tank has finally been removed from it's crate, moved into the house, and set on it's stand.

At first I didn't think anyone was going to show up. Then they came in their multitudes ....

First - they stood around:

Then they walked around:

Then the looked around:

And then, finally - finally, they got to work:

And ... then, all of a sudden, there it was - just like magic:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My warped sense of humor aside - may I say I am without words to describe the thanks I owe to the brave souls that drove miles and then worked their behinds off to get my tank on it's stand. What a group of great guys!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'll be posting all the pics and much more detail about the move on my build thread.

Tom,

The tank and tank room is fabulous. Can't wait to see it when everything is up and running. Thanks for the great food and beverages. It was nice seeing some old friends as well as meeting some new ones.
